Our eyes are one of the first places that show signs of aging. As we age we develop redundant skin on the eyelids which unfortunately makes us look tired. Ageing of the upper eyelid area can result due to a number of factors such as, drooping of the upper eyelid itself (ptosis), increase in lax upper eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) and drooping of the eyebrow (brow ptosis).
To address the redundant upper eyelid skin, a surgery called blepharoplasty is performed. It is a simple outpatient procedure can help correct these changes and restore a more youthful and rested appearance. Most often the results are so natural that friends and coworkers will comment on how great you look, without realizing that surgery was performed. The incision for blepharoplasty is hidden in natural creases of the eyelid, and it heals extremely well.
The art of blepharoplasty has been refined over the past many decades and customized blepharoplasty, i.e. surgery specifically designed according to the configuration and shape of your eyelid is the way forward. Simple blepharoplasty involves removal of excessive skin. This may be customized to remove or move around fat, or provide support to the eyebrow depending on the individual’s specific need. Oculoplastic surgeons are trained to address these particular nuances and are best equipped to perform these delicate procedures.
